Rating: - Targus Notebook Key Lock
The Targus Notebook Computer Key Lock fits and secures the notebook computer as well as any cable locking system I have used.
Rating: - we've bought lots of them

Finally forced it open by using pliers to force the button down (the combination was right the whole time) after a few days of carrying around the whole cable. Not a good lock if you want something dependable.
